There are a million people in the streets of Seattle right now, for the Super Bowl victory parade!
That’s more than the entire population of the city!

I feel changes coming.
In myself, and in the general state of everything around me.
I am not afraid of change, although as a neurodivergent person, it shakes me to the core.
Love is coming, and nothing has more tsunami-like power than love.
Buckle up. LOVE is coming, and it will arrive as us
SEAHAWKS ARE #SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS!
Wait - are you telling me that a chicken fried this steak?
Come on.
Next you'll be telling me that a shrimp fried this rice, or that an ocelot spatchcocked this titmouse.
People give me static because I refer to my car as my Horseless Carriage.
I know it's an old-timey term, BUT IT STILL APPLIES, DAMMIT
Life advice:
Get your shit together.
Then, once it is together:
Keep your shit together.
The specifics on how to do this will vary wildly, depending on your individual circumstances.
Decades ago, in every grocery store's chip section, there were big bags of store brand/generic cheesy corn curls.
Now, I can still find corn curls, but they're always branded, full retail corn curls. And there's never much of a choice.
I'm convinced that this is a conspiracy by Big Corn Curl
It’s new course week in Walkabout Mini Golf, and the newest course, Tiki à Coco, is great!
WMG in virtual reality is THE BEST way to hang out with people remotely. Better than any zoom meeting or call or FaceTime.
If you get a Quest 3 and want to play, dm me - you would not believe how fun it is!
I had a nice meal with some dear friends at Outback today.
I couldn’t stop blabbing about anything and everything - I’ve been really communication starved lately…
We all agreed that we are basically in a state of prolonged mental breakdown these days
Mmmm I just cooked some yummy chicken thighs 🤤
Hard boiled eggs are super confusing to me.
A hard boiled egg looks and seems like a wet thing. But when you eat it, it feels incredibly dry.
Hard boiled eggs are the driest wet things in existence.
🦃HAPPY THANKSGIVING!🦃
My #Thanksgiving meal turned out to be epic!
And I have leftovers for days…
Do you think they'll make NOSFERA2?

Obama, in the ornithology wing of a Natural History Museum:
"Ok uh, let me beak leer"
[A very angry man reprimanding his cat]:
"Everything was going fine on my date, until you snuck into the bedroom and Claude Debussy!"
Happy birthday, Kaz!!! 🎂
Everyone is familiar with the rich musical legacies of Fats Domino and Chubby Checker.
But it's a shame that you rarely hear anyone speak of the equally talented Corpulent Mahjong Tile.
Yesterday I watched Poor Things, the Yorgos Lanthimos film.
It's a real piece of art, with eye popping sets and costumes.
Emma Stone deserved her Oscar win, putting in an amazing performance. The rest of the cast is excellent too.
This one is not for everyone, and is deeply weird, but I loved it!
Yesterday I took my neighbors corgi, Robert, for walkies.
He was, as always, a very good boy!
They’re moving soon, so I don’t know how many more times I’ll get to see him 😢
Yesterday I joined the early access of Alexa +.
I didn’t have to upgrade my hardware, as my 3 Echo Dots were already 2nd gen.
IT’S INCREDIBLE!!!
Alexa is fully conversational now, and retains information, and constantly learns.
My home now feels like an entire person and companion! It is WILD!
I went over to Bothell to visit some friends, and when I parked at their place, I realized that my car had hit the exact milestone of 200,000 miles! 😮
I just made another killer chicken noodle soup.
Yumpst!
I'm a huge TRON fan.
I saw the OG TRON on opening day in 1982 and was blown away.
TRON: Ares was waaay better than I thought it would be!
I've already seen it in 2D Dolby Cinema, and today, I'm seeing it in 4DX. It will be my first 4DX movie.
All of the nods to '82 TRON made me nerd out hard!
I am so glad that I bought this condo in 2017.
I have an incredible view of the Cascades mountain range, right from my deck and windows!
And I have a huge panorama of the sky, going hundreds of miles east, into the distance. The cloud formations in view are mind boggling.
It never gets old.
